Product Information

All our changing robes are made in the UK they are our own designs and patterns and not available for anyone else. We choose local suppliers where we can, with sustainability at the forefront of everything we do. We don't have huge production runs and lots of manufacturing machinery just local people using sewing machines and their skills. Each changing smoc is made in the same way with care taken to ensure quality and consistency. Another small but clever feature to look for in a robe is the addition of a set of changing holes for your hands. By not having to put your arms inside the robe, you'll have extra mobility while dressing and undressing.

Sleeve length: Do you plan on wearing your change robe through summer and autumn and into winter? If so, long sleeves might be the most sensible option, preferably ones with adjustable cuffs so you can seal off against any potentially freezing winds come November. Shorter sleeves meanwhile, are a better, more flexible option for those fair weather swimmers only, or for those wanting to avoid trapping any more sand than they already have. All the fabric is 100% recycled and unlike other changing robes the outer is made from premium twill, so it really feels like a proper coat.Say hello to your new BFF: changing robes — if you’ve been mainlining (ok, rewatching) Bad Sisters on Apple TV like we have, you’ll have seen the cast sporting them throughout.
